Super 16 convert a 400' Mag for Bolex EL?

Les Bosher is upgrading, as I write the missive, my Bolex EL Series 2 to Super 16. 2 Questions: If I have a 25mm Switar, a 10mm switar and a POE 16-100, do I need the Bolex PL to C mount? and second question... Do I need to get the 400 magazine and MM motor I just bought on Ebay to be converted to Super 16 format like the camera body? Les Bosher says no. Jesse Chambliss, the Bolex U.S.A. Dealer says yes, at a cost of $250, so the magazine and rollers don't scratch the film.... What do you guys think?

You should put all your questions in one thread...

It's easier that way.

 

About the adapter...figure out what mount your lenses have

And figure out what mount your camera has (it's a Bolex Bayonet mount)

And then see if you need an adapter to use those lenses.

 

The motor doesn't need to be converted to S16

It runs at 24fps on R16 and S16...its function stays the same

 

About the magazines test them out, if they scratch your film

They might need to be converted to S16, if they don't scratch, well then your good.

 

Good luck with your camera package
